Hi, I'm Brian Hickey, editor of WHYY/NewsWorks' new mayoral-election blog called NinetyNine. (November's winner will be Philadelphia's 99th mayor.) The mission is simple: Get readers up to speed with what's going on during any given campaign day (while providing a laugh and knowledge through the lens of someone who once managed John Dougherty's state-senate campaign). You can reach me via email at bhickey@whyy.org, on Twitter at @MayorNinetyNine or by phone at (215) 351-1293. (Send Northwest Philly-focused pitches along to Neema Roshania, nroshania@whyy.org, who will be leading the hyperlocal charge in my absence.)

Hi, I'm Neema, associate editor for Northwest Philly. I'll be holding office hours on Thursday, March 19 from 3 to 5 p.m. at High Point Cafe at the Allens Lane station in Mt. Airy. Stop by to talk local issues or to learn about becoming a NewsWorks contributor. To stay up to the moment with what's happening here follow me on Twitter (@MtAiryChestnut, @RoxYunkFalls) or on Facebook at Northwest Philly. You can email me at nroshania@whyy.org.
